Photo Chain Game

   this one is for you LEE...   or is it yours?  pretty darn COOL !!

I saw that on a WW2 Jeep forum a while back and gad forgotten about it.

Nope, not mine nor anyone I know (most military vehicle people are too cheap to spend the money on something like that) but it's very cool.

That has to be a single guy as no wife I know would allow it...

As for myself, here's mine, a 1944 Willys MB:

So, from this, you can all tell why the WW2 vehicles on my layout are all marked and equipped correctly for stateside vehicles. Rivet Counting if you will, and I'm proud of it!

Very cool wall grouping. Don't think my wife would like it over her living room sofa but.....

OK back to the game, flat car load

Two pieces of Pennsy Power. (I personally dub this photo ‘Out with the old and in with the new’)

You've got it. The fun police are having another donut 🍩.

Try to follow from cues in the last photo (we nearly all cheat or repeat it's about sharing commonality and maybe some wit anyhow, but if you wait, oportunity will come around for including near any shot )... and try to include some background topics for the next folk to build off of, or be stumped by.  A train wheel with no background doesn't leave much, not even to word play. 

I always thought another added twist might be the commonality as an answer; another guessing game; by listing the photo alone on top, needing full scrolling for seeing the answer as to what was common (we have had runs of multiple commonalities overlapping at times, like a song sung in rounds ). (But sometimes I do get glitched out of adding text following a photo or quotebox anyhow...then again another post is usually possible )

Aaaaanywho...Two generators in use by the military

US Army Green/Camo

As many of you know, any military subject, for me, is too easy to match a photo for...

Note the pre-fab "Marsten matting" on the ground, the steel sections they made airfields and open spaces with. I'm quite proud of how that turned out but no visitor to the layout has noticed it on their own...
